.....these look gorgeous. Pricey for what you get (eight I think), but I know what I'll be scoffing come Xmas morning (if I can wait that long....).

Who sells them, how much and what do they look like?

I've seen them in Woolies and Wilkinson.


They're about 2-3 pound for a packet, come in white and milk and are basically a large, hollow ball of chocolate with a malteser rattling inside.


Yum.

You're welcome !


I've bought a few packets already. The real challenge will be to see if I can resist the inevitable temptation....

I had them 2 Christmas ago and was disappointed. I mean, think how much crunchy malty stuff you could actually fill it with!

I bought them last year and they are a bit of a rip off.  The emphasis is on the 'hollow' - you don't actually get much chocolate for your money, and only one normal size Malteser in the middle, looking rather lost.  Now if they were actually giant Maltesers that would be different.....

Ooh, haven't tried one yet. I'm glad I didn't buy too many in that case!

Yeah, I would like a Mars-bar sized Malteser bar. And I am still waiting for plain choc Maltesers.

They may be a bit expensive but its a bit of fun at Christmas!


I am thinking about getting a nice tin of Fox's Creations at Christmas and having some Christmas morning with a nice cup of tea!
